What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Please tell me those are mini-donuts (just the CCC gone rogue)! Pleeeeaaase tell me there isn't a baker in the world who feels that is a satisfactory cake shape! If not... if not... then... ALL IS LOST! *on that note, goes back to enjoy "Lost" wrecks*

So, erm, I don't know if this makes me old, or mildly prudish, or entirely out of touch (or possibly all of the above), but is 'cum' *really* a commonly used text abbreviation for 'come'? Or is that just wreckerator humor/brain deadedness?

My husband and I are fanatics about using proper spelling and punctuation in our texts, which I guess makes me old. Still in my twenties, and already I'm no longer hip with the lingo.

I almost spewed my coffee on the eclairs or whatever they are. OMG, that icing with that spelling! That's the only one I'm not sending to school with my husband (he teaches gifted 5th graders); they LOVE cake wrecks... it makes 'em feel even smarter.

That last one is great. "Using text-speak to celebrate an educational accomplishment is like celebrating your SCUBA certification by drowning puppies" has to be the best one-liner ever. I love it. I also would note that ur is typical text-speak for your, yr is short for year.

Bwahahaha! Beaver-tailed cows with gunshot wounds. To be perfectly honest, I saw some sort of medical-style diagram at first-- "So instert probe along this path until it reaches the ideal target location, indicated here with a red dot". Not much better...

My mother actually used to teach a communications class. I'd occasionally help her grade tests when she had bigger classes. I told her I quit and I "fired" her when she let someone slide who answered a freeform question in text speak.

"I see a cow...with a beaver tail...and a gunshot wound."LMAO That's hilarious! and I totally see it! I love Rorschach icing blots.

Meanwhile, maybe Amy is graduating from snake charming school.

are those kidney bean things cookies or conjoined cupcakes?? I thought I saw the edge of a wrapper on the top one...And not to state the obvious, but isn't "cum" a vulgar spelling? Just what are those letters iced with? *GAG* Drms = dreams? are these wet dreams? what kind of dreams are we wishing for this grad to come true? (or is it brad? or bradio? is this really a graduation?) It would be really suggestive if the You Dit It cake "came" after

Upon first glance I didn't see the cap, only the front half of a cow, too! And I guess beaver tail is a good way of describing it. I laughed at the gunshot wound part. Hopefully that wreck of a cow is in a better place now.

As for the cookies.... uh.... *insert something witty and dry/disgusted here*
